After Dolphins owner Stephen Ross issued a statement last night to provide an overview of the team’s general manager search, the interview process is set to begin today. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, one of the first candidates to interview, if not the first, will be Omar Khan, the Director of Football & Business Administration for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As for GM searches, I hear #Steelers Director of Football Administration Omar Khan slated to be in Miami today for #Dolphins job interview

Khan, 36, has been with the Steelers organization since 2001 after stints with the New Orleans Saints and Tulane University. Khan’s role in Pittsburgh includes being the team’s chief negotiator, strategic planning of the team’s salary cap and day-to-day management of the team’s Football Operations Department.

Why would they interview this guy? Don’t we already have someone that does all of those duties? We need someone that has talent evaluating for the draft/free-agency experience, not another salary cap guru.

Always remember the ROBBIE RULE the Fins have to interview a certain amount of people. Which is stupid to me. The Fins are going to hire the one that’s best for the team and I don,t CARE WHAT COLOR THEY ARE as long as the JOB is done RIGHT!!!…….So get the GM,OC,OL AND A BIGGER PHYSICAL RB AND LETS GO T THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!

This may be the best candidate out there. But this definitely was the wrong year to go in search of a GM. There just aren’t many qualified, experienced candidates out there. I can’t find one that really stands out from the rest. Forget about Jon Gruden, Cowher, Dungy and Marino. To start with, none of them are interested, plus only one maybe two of them are even qualified. Unless we can steal a sitting GM off of a top tier team, I don’t see us getting a better GM. Don’t be surprised, if Ross turns to the CFL or Arena League to bring in a candidate or two. Polian is 71 and I don’t see him keeping interest in the job for much more than a year. I don’t like Pioli and forget about Tannenbaum. Someone please throw me a name of a better candidate. The plus side to Kahn is his ties and friendship with Bill Cowher. So if Philbin is let go next year or in the near future it might give us a leg up on getting Cowher in here as head coach. But that’s a stretch.

because as per NFL rules the dolphins have to interview people that we are not interested in Its just part of the process they have to go thru to get to the rite person so no one can holler discriminiation Some of u people amaze me at your lack of knowledge
